Private 2-Day Mount Toubkal Trek from Marrakech

What an incredible few days of amazing views, great food and excellent company! We opted for the 3 day hiking excursion up Mount Toubkal through GetYourGuide which I would highly recommend. Our guide, Hassanirmhan, was amazing throughout. He knows the mountains incredibly well, was both professional and friendly, making the whole trip run smoothly. Hassan helped us hire some gear early on which turned out to be essential. As a small group of 6, we were accompanied not only by Hassan but also 2 mules and 2 excellent chefs. The food was delicious and they catered very well for several of us vegetarians. Great taste and generous portions which you need for the hike. Unfortunately, we did not make it to the summit because the winds were too strong when we were high in the mountains on the second day. Although disappointing, this was the right decision. Hassan rearranged our trek to accommodate for the unexpected weather and it was brilliant regardless. A few things I would recommend to bring for the excursion: a microfiber towel, soap, flip flops for the evening, head torch for summit day, gloves, hat, toilet roll, energy bars, electrolytes, sleeping bag, ear plugs, etc. The mules can take a fair amount of luggage whilst you take a day bag which is helpful, but still pack quite light. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience! Matt + Rebekah

Fun trip, great for experienced walkers - whilst the climb /walk is not that hard, factor in weather, altitude and not that much sleep ! We had a very cold wind (so the right kit is important eg ski gloves as normal walking gloves are not warm enough) take plenty of layers and snacks ! The views were incredible and the mules take all the stuff you need overnight. Everyone was super friendly and it’s a fab adventure.

1. Hassan was amazing (our guide) 2. The trip could have been better, it was quite disorganized (not our guide’s fault) 3. We paid for private (did group, just book the group it was for the best) 4. This is not an easy hike (8 miles each way, 4,000 ft of climb) (5hrs per day) 5. You’ll make a stop for lunch and one stop for drink. 6. Base camp is at 10,500ft (3500 meters) 7. You start the day at 0930 - arrive by 1130. Start the climb around 1200 and get to base camp around 1700. 8. The next day you summit at 0500 (wakeup 0330) 9. Breakfast after summit 1000 10. Arrive back at beginning at 1800. 11. Taxi/bus pickup is quite disorganized so be prepared for that. 12. If you’re doing this in the winter you need some serious winter gear (rent poles, crampons) you don’t need an ice axe. 13. Overall, absolutely amazing experience but know what you’re walking into.
